Dashboard Improvements

Entries in your activity feed that you haven’t previously viewed are now displayed differently.

Donations

As you can see, there is now a donate link in the top right.

Donations will be going towards server costs and will help ensure the continued development of DotShare. Any and all donations are welcomed and greatly appreciated! Any amount helps (although we’d ask if you could please keep the amount at at least a dollar).

Multi-File Support

Not sure which file of your awesome config to post?

Not sure whether or not you should combine your organized config into one monster file to submit it?

DotShare now allows multi-file dots! With this, some dots can be made up of quite a few files. We tried to strike a balance between making the information available while not cramming it all in your face at once. We’d love to know what you think and if you run into any issues please let us know.

What’s to come? We plan to enhance multi-file support with file independent syntax highlighting and group downloading of multi-file dots.

Lightbox Gallery Improvements

Also with this update, we’ve improved the lightbox galleries on the site. The titles now display (and link to) more.

Twitter

Also, we are now on Twitter! Follow us to get updates (e.g. new categories) and tweet us your feedback and category requests.

This pretty quickly led to an array of different screenshot info grabber tools, which tossed out some information about the used themes, icons, fonts, and other nifty stuff. But one thing they couldn’t do; actually provide the configuration files. Not to mention these threads were spread over a number of different forums and threads that were hard to organize and keep track of.

And out of that came DotShare. Welcome!
